    What on earth are you talking about...if you get an all in deal as you call it, do you think you can use your phone as much as you like and not increase the bill ? and another thing your giving a lot of information out there... like your name and your bill details.. and 4 boxes ... 2+2 = trouble.

    so you have the pack that includes all national, local and international calls free? but that dont include mobiles. Does it state that the price is inclusive of vat? so the 100 euros is for your phone, bband and TV and extra box inclusive of vat? the vat on 100 would bring it to about 121.00 euros, so if you have any mobile calls on your bill that may bring it up to 144. Are you being charged for chans extra? sports etc etc,

    no big mobile call on that my bill states subscriptions at 113. ex vat with vat is it works out at 137 phone usage with vat 10 saving and discount of 3 i just think that is sounds very expensive when the are advertising it for 95 i know i have an extra box which they say its only 5 put that works out at 8.49 sports are part of the pack

    ken chorus dont switch off the free sports/movies after the 2 months you have to ring them and say you dont want them ,if not they leave it on and charge you .sky do it also ,you have to ring them . the second box at €5 is that correct (maybe it was only €5 for the first 2 months)if they dont ring back you ring them and get them to go through your bill with you .

    Don't buy SVU6 for cho*us yet as there's no server set up
    I'm sure it will need different firmware for 6875 server.
    Keep an eye on SVU6 threads as there have been one or two hic-cups.
